Yeah this is exactly why I stayed away from the A1 laptops. I bought a 2020 MacBook Pro used for $700 with the bottom bezel on the screen broken that I'm going to fix eventually but for now works all because it has cosmetic damage. And yes, I think it's one of the NAND chips or the A1 processor...
This sounds like a question for Louis and he doesn't frequent the forums enough to answer you. I'd see if you can call the shop and ask him personally, although it's pretty hard to get him on the horn.
Alright shot in the dark here. How old is the SSD? Have you tried swapping the drive out with another one? You might be chasing a phantom here. I would try a second boot device before trying all this extra rework.

Hi Louis! You may not remember me, but I tweeted to you from my now purged Twitter account @gir489 a million years ago because you taught me how to buy a laptop that doesn't suck ass for cheap! I bought some ASUS gaming laptop for $1500 at the time (used in the box) and got it shipped to my door...
